Attention Smokers

If you are like me and a few other outlaws that still smoke are tired of paying $40-50 or more for a carton of cigarettes then this may interest you.
A buddy of mine started this and got me interested. You can roll your own cigarettes on the cheap...like $10 a carton easy. You need an injector, tobacco, tubes and a case to put them in. There are dozens of online sources and of course local. A pretty good Injector costs about $50. Pipe tobacco costs >$15 pound(more on that in a minute) and some tubes $4 for 200. A pound will make about 2 1/2 cartons....you can do the math...$25 for 2 1/2 cartons...online cheaper than that.
There are articles about the tobacco being “better for you” than cigarette tobacco. You form your own opinion and do your own research. Here are a couple of links if you are interested. Hey. You can kill yourself cheaper.

Here is a short video of the one I have...there are lots of them

I am new at it, but I find it relaxing to do...kinda like reloading, but not requiring as much concentration.

I rolled my own using a couple simple "machines" way back in the 60's and early 70's. Worked fine for a while but sooner or later, when you are out of rolled cig's you just get back in the habit of buying them by the carton.

I decided to just quit when the price rose to $0.80 per pack. What is it now, $7, $8, or more per pack?


BTW, when I quit I found I had more energy when working and fewer "colds".

Then again, it's still a matter of personal choice. Some people won't smoke cigarettes but will happily sit around the campfire and inhale it's smoke

I don't smoke but if I did, roll your own sounds good, Marlboro is $10 a pack in San Francisco and e-cigs are now illegal to sell in that city.
